Berjsmin Franklin. The money was to
be loaned ont to young married srtlflcers,
and the trust has been executed, although
the lapse Of a century requires new

significant that while in Boston the

swept We will leave cur little readers TO
guess, g. most of them know that work

Fay's childish nature soon wanted q
change, and as every one was too busy to
amuse her, she Was left to follow her
own inclination. This led her to the
kitchen, where the morroW's dinner was
in progress. There was the cook busy
with big turkey-fsst her fingers few
and fsst the feathers fell.

FAY'S DREAM.
A Christmas Greeting from shs Gazstto to
It's Little Readers.

A Christmas Greeting from Cha Gazstto to
Its Little Readers.
Mammals darling was tired, TIE little
feet had trotted from early morning, sud
willing hands, though small, had done
what they could in helping on the preps-
rations for the coming festivities. To-
morrow would be Christmas, and what
might not be expected The busy brain
Of little Fay could not anticipate. All
day had she watched the work go on,
trying in her childish way to help every
one.
Rising earlier that morning than was
her habit, her first peep out the window
showed everything covered with snow.
1t had fallen softly in the night, and as
yet the pure mantle was unspotted,
whatever might lie beneath was for
time hidden by this charitable covering.
Soon, however, the busy sWeepers be-
gan to ply their brooms, clearing side
walks and doorsteps. Fascinated the lit
tie girl stood, and ii Yves only after sew
eral calls that mamma could induce her
to dress. The child with her yellow
curls,. deep blue eyes and shelitinted
cheek yet rosy and warm from her pillow,
and clad in her white robe, looked as il
she too had been born Of the snow, and
might vanish as easily. Il WAS pretty
picture at the window, and ruddy
checked lad as he trudged through the
snow shouted: "Hello golden locksl
when did you leave fairy land?" Then
laughing lightly ct mis- own fun. went on
his way whistling merrily, for Christmas
Thoughts were in his heart.
S5Fay's dressing that morning was slow
work The outside world was
too full of new beauties for her childish
vision; she wss, however, finally beguiled
in getting ready by q promise from her
indulgent mother that after breakfast she
might 60 out and sweep the snow that
sent up such pretty white feathers at each
stroke of the broom.
